Well, well, another corrupt filthy Democrap. Who would have imagined?

It's a big she's guilty party going on here.

We are getting ready to dance the Mamushka.

I think this Should will be my last post tonight.

The reader must make it through 9 paragraphs to learn she is a Democrat. I already knew so the suspense was only in wondering if the rag would publish her affiliation at all. Even when the author did mention her Democrat status, it was such that it could have been another representative named in the reference. If the reader did not know, there could be doubt......as intended, I'm sure.

Political controversies
National Baptist Convention check
In 1998, Brown was questioned by the House Ethics Committee about receiving a $10,000 check from National Baptist Convention leader and long-time associate, Henry Lyons.[9] Brown confirmed receiving the check and denied she had used the money improperly.[9] Brown said that she had taken the check and converted it into another check made out to Pameron Bus Tours to pay for transportation to a rally she organized in Tallahassee. She said that she didn't have to report the money, and that she had been cleared, explaining the rally was to protest the reorganization of her district lines, and she did not use it for herself.[9]
Forgery
The Federal Election Commission admonished Brown and Brown's former campaign treasurer quit after he discovered that his name had been forged on her campaign reports. The staffer alleged to have forged the treasurer's signature stayed with Brown and as of 1998 was her chief of staff.[29]
Congressional Accountability Project
On June 9, 1998, the Congressional Accountability Project voted to conduct a formal inquiry regarding Brown. The Project called for the U.S. House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct to determine whether Brown had violated House Rule 10.[33] One of the complaints was that Brown's adult daughter, Shantrel Brown, had received a luxury automobile as a gift from an agent of a Gambian millionaire named Foutanga Sissoko. Sissoko, a friend of Congresswoman Brown, had been imprisoned in Miami after pleading guilty to charges of bribing a customs officer. Brown had worked to secure his release, pressuring U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno to deport Sissoko back to his homeland as an alternative to continued incarceration. The Project held this violated the House gift rule, but Brown denied she had acted improperly. The congressional subcommittee investigating Brown found insufficient evidence to issue a Statement of Alleged Violation, but said she had acted with poor judgment in connection with Sissoko.[9][34][35]
2000 election
In July 2004 Brown was rebuked by the House of Representatives after she referred to the disputed 2000 presidential election in Florida as a "coup d'état". This comment came during floor debate over HR 4818, which would have provided for international monitoring of the 2004 U.S. presidential election.[36]
Felony fraud indictment
In July 2016, Brown and her chief of staff, Elias "Ronnie" Simmons, pleaded not guilty to a 22 count federal indictment in relation to a non-profit charity, One Door for Education Foundation. The indictment included charges of participating in a conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, multiple counts of mail and wire fraud, concealing material facts on required financial disclosure forms, theft of government property, obstruction of the internal revenue laws, and filing false tax returns.[37] Federal prosecutors allege the charity was to give scholarships to underprivileged students, but instead acted as the personal slush fund for Brown and her associates. The indictment says that Brown and Simmons "filled the coffers of Brown and her associates" with One Door donations for their personal and professional benefit, totaling $800,000, much of which was deposited in cash to Brown's personal bank accounts. Brown and her associate pleaded not guilty and were released on a $50,000 bond. After the hearing, Brown predicted that she would be cleared at trial. In accordance with House of Representatives rules, Brown stated she was temporarily stepping down as a ranking member of the House Committee on Veterans Affairs.[38][39] House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called the charges against Brown "deeply saddening" and said she was right to step down from the Veterans Affairs committee.[37]

On May 11, 2017, former congresswoman Corrine Brown was convicted on 18 of 22 corruption charges ranging from mail fraud to filing a false federal tax return. [40]

Well, for one, the Clinton Foundation is transparent; i.e., there is no doubt who was being paid and for what. And, they actually paid out most of the millions collected. Brown's so-called charity was unknown to all but the supplicants who were buying her limited influence. And all the money was distributed to the principals.

As a native Floridian, I'm glad she's gone.

As a Houston resident, I hope Sheila Jackson Lee is next.

Maybe she can get some Gucci'n'shit from the prison commissary.

yes, not doubt they've paid out millions. It is just mostly salaries and fund-raising expenses, with 5.7% going to actual charitable grants (in 2014) -

IIRC, didn't Jessie (the dad) have an affair with a staffer in his Rainbow non-profit (had a love child), was paying her something like $40K per month out of "charitable" funds. And doesn't Sharpton owe ~$600K in back taxes on top of the questionable use of charitable funds.

As others have indicated, many politicians are equally guilty, Brown got hit either because she is no longer useful, or because she pissed someone off.

Bahahahahah. I sought a video to verify what I thought the Mamushka looked like and found this:

"Brown had pleaded not guilty, blaming her former chief of staff Elias “Ronnie” Simmons for stealing."

Yea, right from the playbook; always someone else's fault.

Three "hots" and a "cot" via the taxpayers, but money well spent this time.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving person. Hope she rots in the slammer.

I think Sharpton owes back taxes in the millions. Last I remember it was $3.5M.

One Door for Education Foundation - a charity that was purported to be giving scholarships to poor students.

Federal prosecutors said Brown and her associates used One Door to bring in more than $800,000 between 2012 and 2016

Brown’s indictment said the Virginia-based One Door only gave out one scholarship for $1,200 to an unidentified person in Florida.

This is Carla Wiley's (the "founder" of One Door) plea agreement pdf. Skip to page 19, "Factual Basis", for the details of the One Door scam. Interesting reading Carla Wiley's plea

Some donors testified at Brown's trail. One was the head of CSX in JAX, who gave One Door $30K after being solicited directly by Brown. He said he thought he was donating to a legit charity. Yeah, sure. Even more troubling was the testimony of donor Susie Wiles, a Republican political consultant who ran Gov. Rick Scott's first campaign and was co-chair of Donald Trump' Florida campaign. She thought she was being solicited to raise $$ to fight Brown's redistricting battle. So she KNEW she was tapping Republican Party donor $$ to a non-charity to benefit this slimeball. What does that make Susie? She was pissed to learn Brown was just pocketing the cash. Honor among thieves. Politics = Sickening.

"Wiles told a similar story, but instead of financing One Door’s supposed charity work, she thought she was gathering checks for her legal battle against the redrawing of her congressional district."
